"He's the wave I swore I'd never ride... and the one I can't stop chasing"
She hates him.
He hates her.
So why does the ocean keep pulling them together?
When Solana "Sol" Santoro returns to Oahu, the last person she expects to see is Keanu Ikaika-her childhood rival, now a cocky pro surfer with the smirk she's always wanted to wipe off his face.
But a summer competition forces them to train together. Early mornings. Dangerous waves. And heat that has nothing to do with the sun.
The closer they get, the harder it is to tell where the hate ends and the wanting begins. And when a storm traps them together, Sol realizes some waves aren't meant to be outrun-they're meant to be ridden.

Ride the Waves (Author's Edit)
(I've decided to edit and re-publish one of my most successful books here on this platform, now as a mature writer. Ride the Waves is a book I began writing at 17 years old-now 10 years later it has amassed many fans and many reads. Also in the space of 10 years, I have grown a lot as a person and as a literary writer and decided to re-write my most famous book. Obviously the original Ride the Waves has my heart-that's my baby!-but looking at it now, from a mature lens, I could really do the story more justice by reimagining it. This is exactly what this is. Ride the Waves: author's edit. Same story line, same loved characters, but better writing. Hope you enjoy) Blurb: Ride the waves; It's a surfing term. Surfers paddle out to catch waves. They wait for a really good, high, strong wave, then they surf it into shore. When you ride a wave, it's not your power propelling you, it's the strength of the natural phenomenon. So to ride a wave metaphorically is to go with something already happening. For seventeen-year-old Nina, surviving has never felt like riding a wave. After losing her best friend and nearly losing herself, she's just trying to stay afloat. As she navigates the turbulent waters of grief, first love, and senior year, Nina begins to find her rhythm again. But some waves carry secrets beneath their surface. And when the truth finally crashes over her, everything she thought she knew will be swept away.
